Azeez Ojulari-Edge-Georgia | Page 21

Phoenix49ers · 2021-01-21T20:04:54-08:00

Another pass rushing option for consideration. Ojulari is much more in the mold of a Dee Ford, an explosive edge that can get around in a hurry and has both the hands and athleticism to thrive in this defense. He's more like a Brian Burns, definitely undersized but would add a missing element to the defense and help with running down some of the more mobile QB's that this team will face.

The timing is so good that tackles just can't land their punch on him. pic.twitter.com/ichKnNnUFq— Lorenz (@lorenzz14) December 30, 2020Azeez Ojulari vs. Alex Leatherwood was a great battle. This rep stood out from the #UGA EDGE rusher. Only a redshirt sophomore, but he's already so good with his hands as a pass rusher. pic.twitter.com/Eb6WnFrIru— Jordan Reid (@Jordan_Reid) December 1, 2020UGA's X factor will be LB Azeez Ojulari Ojulari can play up or with his hand in the dirt. When rushing, he'll face LT Alex Leatherwood. Can he disrupt Mac Jones and consistently set the edge vs the run?

You have Bosa coming off an ACL injury and then you have what? Dee Ford who may never again be healthy, Samson Ebukam who looks like a decent rotational edge rusher, and then who?

Jordan Willis. Arden Key. None of which have accomplished much of anything thus far in the NFL.

I think edge is absolutely a need, at least one more guy who can split snaps with Ebukam and provide depth in case of injury.

Could that guy be Ronald Blair? Reports had him at the facility but there was no follow-up. I don't know if he's still not passing a physical.

Ronald Blair was in on a visit with the 49ers but we knew, based on a setback-ridden 2020, that clearing the health bar might be a really tough task. So that's a deal that I won't consider done until it's actually finished https://t.co/kCdSepJAHQ

Our defense takes on a whole different complexion with legit EDGE players. I would take my chances on the back end talent but there is no way to cover for lack of EDGE.

Edit: I agree Furlow!

There's gonna be some damn good talent at our pick. I don't think it will be O line cause I think this FO likes McKivitz more than they should. Kelvin Joseph is a player I'd normally really want but his off field rap career has me super hesitant. But I agree gotta take him if he's there

The bolded is why I'm so high on taking Azeez if he's available.

ugh, yeah I want him man. But just with his medical red flag, I feel like we need to take him off our draft board just with our recent injury luck

I just watched a few youtube videos, and from my very uninformed opinion, wow. He's impressive.

Definitely want this guy!

Edit: There's no way he makes it to our 2nd pick. He'll be gone in the top 5 of round 2.

What's the medical red flag?

Edit: I just read up on the knee issue and ankle? Dr. Andrews said it checked out but other teams medicals may have checked out different.

I've seen him go between rounds 2-4 in mocks. No one can really get a read on his draft projection. I think someone will take a shot on him in the mid to late 2nd. Same thing for Elijah Molden.
